Re: [Boost-build] bug in toolset configuration of gcc - fix

Hi,
I've got it compiled but I couldn't test it if the libs realy work.
I've to change multihtreading options because it is supported by gcc on
HPUX.
I was forced to add an addition -fPIC because the HP linker complained
it.
[modules.peek : JAMUNAME ] did not work because the switch did never
match against HPUX - it matched always case *.
So I changed it to switch [ os.name ].
The extension for shared libraries was also not correct - it should be
.sl instead of .so.

I dond't know where I've to change the scripts in order to get shared
libs compiled by default. I was forced to apply link=shared to the bjam
commandline.

Please boost.build managers, incooperated the changes to to appropriate
places.

Regards, Oliver
